Isn’t that all porn? 🀣

[–] Gentryfried@feddit.uk 5 points 2 hours ago

I presume they're going to do this again and again knocking off a new category each time, and if so, I'd rather they spare us the slow march by just banning it all at once.

what happens if two bro's swap semen and then their parents get married and they are step bro's but they stop the fucking, is that ok?

and who will be watching all this porn to check?

I've never understood why this theme became so popular in porn. But also, it's porn. If you're watching it for the plot, you should probably be watching something else.

But obviously, this is more about banning something than actually an issue with the porn. Oiling up that slippery slope.

Families have inherent relationships built that can be nodded at without much conversation being necessary. Basically porn with plot without requiring as much plot.

I think because in order to product the kink you need to set a ground base for story. A lot of people just want some sort of story instead of just straight into it.

There is a specific group that is in control of most of the porn websites. Lets just say they are super into it. For reasons.

[–] Gentryfried@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

I think incest / 'stepcest' stuff is largely popular because:

  • it can sprout innumerous plotlines, whereas most visual porn lacks story
  • the "domestic" nature of it means they don't have to shell out for multiple sets or fancy sets.
  • The idea of other people breaking laws and putting themselves in danger seems to add to the dopamine hit of porn. Which is mabe why some people consume violent stuff.
In my op it's popular with viewers largely because it is favoured by the studios.

I have to say though, from back in my porn watching days, i couldn't stand the weird production quality in all the step-incest stuff. And the compulsion to pair up performers who have a big age gap, or to make performers look like teenagers, is disturbing. I doubt these things have changed.

It's funny to imagine that the government might have a porn-Tsar who is just banning all the stuff they personally consider shite. Should have been me.

I think a lot of it is because it makes writing really easy. You don't need to come up with a reason for these two people to be near each other in an intimate setting, which they can easily turn into something more sexual. Not many people are watching for the plot, so they just need a bare bones contrivance for it taking place.

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

You never quit beating your meat mid-fap because the plot was just so captivating?

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There was one that really stuck with me. This poor homeowner needed a plumber but she had no cash. It was a harrowing story of love and loss, and the climax was stunning.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Did she end up getting her pipes cleaned?

[–] Thassodar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Checked, cleaned, and re-caulked.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Hey, that lamp is really nice...where can I buy it?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago

because actual parental incest would fire up America's family values.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 5 hours ago

There's sex with some level of plot, and there's plot with some level of sex. It depends on which goal is greater for that movie or book. There is also a variety of degrees of porn plot, from bad to decent (with still the goal of being porn, but far more believable).

Are not-step-siblings still okay? Short of being admitted in the script, how does one know the relations? I guess the same validation as when the actress says she's 18, right?

[–] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 3 points 3 hours ago

What are you doing, step-neighbor?

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Fuck these pieces of shit dude. Fucking stop with the protecting children talk. It's all lies.

[–] Gentryfried@feddit.uk 0 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

stop with the protecting children talk. It’s all lies.

Well in this case what's the ulterior motive?

I do think children would be more protected if they could find a way to just ban porn from being viewed made or sold here, but the age-verification seems like enough in that regard (and the former idea is overreach, so 'boo', but would also help adults with porn problems).

[–] ChexMax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Idk what the ulterior motive is, but if your goal is to protect children this is like the third or fourth least damaging porn of all. Like ban all other fetishes first

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 2 hours ago

Burning books. Duh. Seriously. How are you so dense? It's Farenheight 451 NOW.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 12 points 5 hours ago

Step-prime minister, what are you doing?

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Next up is sexual relations with neighbours, then friends and finally sexual relations altogether.

Thank a god we have people looking out for us! /s

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 27 minutes ago

Won't someone rid us of those pesky lemon-stealing whores?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

The only porn that will be allowed is between heterosexual married couples. And no peeking under the covers you perv! And don't forget the weekly renewal off your porn license!

In the UK? Home of the real-life incestuous monarchy? Is it unacceptable to pretend that non-blood relatives bang each other?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Oi! You got a license for that step-sibling?

It's in there somewhere, I was looking for it. Might need to check the other side.

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

It turns out this isn't a censorship ban or anything of the sort. The UK prime ministers are just tired of the unoriginality.

What are you doing, step-Baroness Bertin?
